3.5mm to 3.5mm

My CD player in my house has a 3.5mm headphone jack where i can plug in my headphones and listen to the music coming from my cd player. would this work for one of those 3.5mm to 3.5mm(male to male) cords, so that i could listen to my ipod through my cd player?

No because the headphone jack on your cd player is an output socket and and not an input.

How do I use a NORMAL headset (dual 3.5mm) on my new Macbook pro retina? No usb ports available and headset buddy adapter doesn't work.

Hi Auracles1,
Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

Text Wrap doesn't like 1.5mm but anything else is fine

I have a JPG image containing an enabled clipping path placed on a page. A text frame overlaps one side and the text wraps nicely around the edge of the clipping path (selected in the Contour Options) with a 1mm outset entered in the Text Wrap palette.
However, if I increase the outset to 1.5mm, the text stops wrapping altogether: it just runs across the picture as if I had switched Text Wrap off. Any other measurement is fine: 2mm is just great, as is 0mm, 1mm, 3mm, and so on. But at 1.5mm, I get no wrap at all.
I can get around this by switching Contour Options from Same As Clipping Path to Detect Edges, whereupon the 1.5mm outset works as it should. So no real harm done, but does anyone else think this is odd behaviour?
- Alistair

There are several other cut-out pictures on the same page, all with 1.5mm outset Text Wraps that cause no problem. We have removed the offending picture, resaved it in Photoshop, replaced it on the page, etc but it does the same thing.
Unfortunately, it's an InDesign CS2 layout so it won't be appropriate to file a bug report. Exporting to INX will be troublesome because the page and its slot in the plan is controlled by a CMS (i.e. exporting is no problem but getting it back in again and reconnecting all the broken CMS links while everyone's on deadline might be). I'd love to post the files here but my newspaper publisher customer wouldn't like it.
Thank you for your suggestions.

How to connect apple tv to normal speakers with 3.5mm jack?

I have recently brought apple tv, it works great with my tv. But I have optoma HD200x projector which, I think, don't have audio out. I understand that I need optical audio cable to connect it to speakers but I have JBL radial speakers with 3.5mm jack. Which cable is required as no optical audio port on jbl dock.
Thanks

You need to connect optical to a DAC that can output analogue stereo (serach for monoprice here) or have an amp/speaker that acepts optical.
Assuming you'll hook up HDMI to the Optoma it's worth considering whether or not thsi convertes HDMI audio and has an analogue 3.5mm or RCA jack out (or headphones socket) - that might work but would entail an extra lead from the projector.

Regarding the Belkin Audio Splitter (3.5mm-M/2x3.5mm-F). Are both sides of this splitter simultaneously bidirectional?

Direct connections are always best, but if you insist:
Get a Griffin iTrip or replace your radio with one that has AUX inputs and/or Bluetooth.

How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging? I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5 mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work on the ipod.

How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging? I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work with the ipod (although it does work with an MP3 player). My ipod is a 5th generation 80GB classic.

I know this is old - but did you ever get this working. Thinking of getting a 780 ti card and I have an older mac with the mini-displayport too.

Looking for a app to use my iPhone as a speaker, using a 3.5mm input

I want to connect my phone to a device using a dual 3.5mm cable and have the audio play on my phone. I'm hoping that there's an app that will allow me to do this. I use bluetooth hearing aids that can stream audio directly from the iphone. So I need the audio to play on the phone in order for it to send it to my hearing aids. If there is an app to do this it will save me $350, because I won't need to buy a accessory to get the same results.

Turn off home sharing, you don't need that. Open Itunes Preferences from the computer. Go to the devices section. At the bottom you will see the option to add a remote access that and follow the steps.

Does anyone have any info re 3.5mm jack microphones on the Mac Pro?

Please, don't refer me to the manufacturer...am working on that, in the meantime i'm looking for anyone that might have OTHER information or suggestions regarding this issue...
Bought a GE PC Microphone, a very simple on with a 3.5MM jack. The package specifically says "Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems"
I plug it into the Audio Line In on the back of my Pro (just purchased barely a few weeks ago) and the nothing happens...no sound is registered or recorded.
I've gone to preferences pane and selected "Line In" as opposed to "Digital Line In", and nothing....
Is there some silly thing I'm over looking. When I read the Mac Pro User Manual regarding that particular port it refers to use of:
" Analog audio line-in port
Connect self-powered microphones, MP3 and CD players, and other devices with analog
capability"
The mic is simple, has no power source, only the 3.5MM jack...should it not work?
Any help (other than the already perfectly obvious contact the mfr of the mic, or plain old return/exchange the mic" will be greatly appreciated. If that's what i have to do ,it's what i'd have to do, but i'd like some validation that there is NOT anything I am missing before doing so.
Thanks!

Hi JamilMereck,
first of: you can edit previous posts in a time-frame of some minutes (haven't measured it ...).
After that they become non-editable.
I admit I have used microphones some years back with and without PCs (have switched to Macs 2.5 years ago).
But I always had the mics connected to a mixing desk, which provided Phantom Power.
Since I gave up my 'Singing Career' (wasn't good enough) I also abandoned the use of microphones.
To your questions:
It might be that PCs with specified Microphone-In ports are also providing power to them or the microphones themselves do not need any power.
And the 'compatible with...' refers to the usage on computers in general.
The iMic from Griffin works with OSX 10.5 (scroll down on the webpage to 'Product Compatibility' the left icon symbolizes OSX 10.5).
As said above, I am no longer up-to-date in usage of microphones, but when you want to use a microphone with the standard connector you have to get either a microphone preamp or a mixer.
If you use the mic only (really only) with your Mac Pro, you might wanna look for USB-connected mics from Samson or Audio Technica for example.
And don't get upset, I understand you fully and any kind of 'insult' is for the manufacturers and not for me

IPod freezes when played thru 3.5mm jack

When my iPod played on any device through the 3.5mm jack, from portable units to my car system, the iPod plays 1 to 3 songs, then freezes, even when fully charged. It then has to be unplugged, let sit for a while, and then the cycle can start over again. I have not tried it with a unit that works through the power plug (in the bottom) at this point.
The unit is a 30g, series 3 or 4 (not sure), and only has about 12g on it.

Good question but I have to say that I don't know: Never used them. I hate the earbuds so I use headphones from a RIO unit. They worked OK about 4 months ago but I haven't tried them since the problems started. I will do that as soon as the pod gets fully charged.
I also noticed that the battery doesn't seem to be holding a charge as long as it used to. It discharges to almost 50% within minutes of being turned on. I wonder if this has anything to do with the overall problem.

Should I be able to play my ipod connected via a 3.5mm analog in?

So I have a 3.5mm male to male connector. I connected my ipod to the audio in jack on the mbp. When I play music from the ipod, I don't hear anything from either the internal speakers or a pair of usb connected speakers...
Is this configuration suppose to work?

The "line in" on an MBP is just that - an audio line in, which 'expects' line-level input. The headphone output of the iPod does not have sufficient power for a line-in port. A microphone port (which the MBP does not have) is what you'd need, or an amplifier. Since the MBP is a 'pro' computer, the line-in port is designed to work with audio devices which provide line-level output.
Having said that, there's no need to use the headphone port to play the music from the iPod. Just connect the iPod to the USB port (via a dock connector). Do NOT sync it (decline the option if offered), select the iPod in the devices list on the left side of iTunes, tick the box to "manually manage music..." Then, click the little triangle to the left of the iPod in the devices list, and you'll see your music. Click on a playlist, then double-click on a song in the main window to start playing it.

I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro. The mac book does not have 3.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
& mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

Late 2011 MacBook Pro Audio Crackling from 3.5mm Output and USB Audio Devices.

Howdy. I don't know what's wrong with my laptop. Recently any headphone I have used with the 3.5mm output has been crackleing. I assumed the jack it's self was broke but when I set up my Audioenndine D1 amp it is still crackling from videos on YouTube, Netflix, iTunes. etc... It even crackles when there is nothing playing. If anyone has any idea what is going on I would apreaciate it.

You can try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:
Disconnect all peripherals, power off, power back on holding the following keys COMMAND OPTION P R
continue holding till you hear the start chime 2 times then release, reboot.
If it is still crackling it may be a hardware issue, you can bring it in to a Genius bar and they will disgnose it for free, and give you options.

IPhone dock 30-pin connector to line-out 3.5mm adapter/cable?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a compact adaptor or cable to go from my iPhone 30-pin connector to a 3.5mm cable (or 3.5mm plug). Wondering if there are any recommendations, as some pre-date the iPhone and thus prompt the iPhone to switch to airport mode...
I've found:
SendStation - Products - PocketDock Line Mini Out USB (I don't need the USB part, but it's handy I guess)

There are no doubt other (maybe better?) options so look forward to any tips.
Cheers,

Did deeper research. It's apparently true that phone call audio is not and cannot be routed to the "line out" of the iPhone. I'm disappointed. It appears to be a hardware design thing, as I've found no app that would enable this, and darned if I can think of a situation that would have this capability as a downside.

How to get audio input through 3.5mm on MacBook Air

I am trying to use the 3.5mm jack on the MacBook Air as an input jack. I am running several Mic's to a sound board, and then using it's output to get the audio to my system. The problem is, when I plug the cable into the jack, it thinks it is speakers. Does anybody have a solution? I cannot find any way to manually adjust this from output to input. Also, using USB is not an otion, becuase it is coming from a sound board, not jus one mic.
I am using a mid-2011 MBA with Lion 10.7.5
Thanks!!!

Maybe you can help me now?
I have a iPhone 1/8 inch microphone adapter - 3.5mm 4 conductor TRRS Male to 3.5mm Microphone Input Jack from here. that allows me to plug my lapel mic directly into my iphone and record, it is great.
I was hoping I could also use it on my MBPRetina to accomplish the same purpose. Do you know if that is possible? I tried and tested it recording a video in iMovie, and didn't notice any change.
I went to the Sound Input Preferences, and do not notice the mic input changing when I plug it in or remove it. In other words, it always says "internal mic."
My lapel mic is battery operated, with a fresh battery, and it was turned on.
What am I doing incorrectly? Any help would be wonderfully appreciated!
